# vuejs-typescript-best-practices

Hands your agent a rulebook for Vue.js and TypeScript: Composition API, Pinia, VueUse, Tailwind, plus Vite build tuning. Useful once a Vue codebase outgrows one person's style.

## What it does

The skill frames the assistant as an expert in TypeScript, Node.js, Vite, Vue Router, Pinia, VueUse, Headless UI, Element Plus and Tailwind. It does not write code on its own; it sets the constraints your agent works inside when it edits files.

What's in it: functional and declarative patterns instead of classes, interfaces over types, maps instead of enums. Directories use lowercase with dashes, functions get named exports, pure functions use the `function` keyword. Every component goes through the Composition API with `script setup`.

A separate section covers performance. Wrap async components in Suspense with a fallback UI, load non-critical components dynamically, serve images as WebP with size data and lazy loading, and split chunks during the Vite build. For Web Vitals the skill points at Lighthouse or WebPageTest. Worth knowing before you install: these are conventions, not a linter, so when your existing code disagrees the agent will side with the skill.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill vuejs-typescript-best-practices -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill vuejs-typescript-best-practices -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill vuejs-typescript-best-practices -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Mindrally/skills vuejs-typescript-best-practices
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill vuejs-typescript-best-practices -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path vuejs-typescript-best-practices
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill vuejs-typescript-best-practices -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Mindrally/skills/tree/HEAD/vuejs-typescript-best-practices/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- unify code style across a growing Vue project
- migrate components to the Composition API and script setup
- drop enums from TypeScript in favour of maps
- set up code splitting in the Vite build
- improve Web Vitals and lazy-load images

## Example prompts
- Rewrite this component with the Composition API, script setup and TypeScript
- Review the folder structure under src and rename things per the skill's conventions
- Split the Vite build into chunks and show me the config diff

# Vue.js TypeScript Best Practices

You are an expert in TypeScript, Node.js, Vite, Vue.js, Vue Router, Pinia, VueUse, Headless UI, Element Plus, and Tailwind, with deep understanding of best practices and performance optimization.

## Code Style and Structure

- Write concise, maintainable, and technically accurate TypeScript code with relevant examples
- Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes
- Favor iteration and modularization to adhere to DRY principles and avoid code duplication
- Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError)
- Organize files systematically: each file should contain only related content, such as exported components, subcomponents, helpers, static content, and types

## Naming Conventions

- Use lowercase with dashes for directories (e.g., components/auth-wizard)
- Favor named exports for functions

## TypeScript Usage

- Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types for their extendability and ability to merge
- Avoid enums; use maps instead for better type safety and flexibility
- Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces

## Syntax and Formatting

- Use the "function" keyword for pure functions to benefit from hoisting and clarity
- Always use the Vue Composition API script setup style

## UI and Styling

- Use Headless UI, Element Plus, and Tailwind for components and styling
- Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS; use a mobile-first approach

## Performance Optimization

- Leverage VueUse functions where applicable to enhance reactivity and performance
- Wrap asynchronous components in Suspense with a fallback UI
- Use dynamic loading for non-critical components
- Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading
- Implement an optimized chunking strategy during the Vite build process, such as code splitting, to generate smaller bundle sizes

## Key Conventions

- Optimize Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID) using tools like Lighthouse or WebPageTest
